Elder Jackson Tait: Happier Than a Fruit Fly in the Produce Aisle

I heard that Jordan Timothy (Jack’s cousin), the man with the plan, who has power every hour, who is open 25 hours 8 days a week, sealed the deal, and when I say sealed, I LITERALLY mean sealed! It’s remarkable the monumental events that occur in everyone’s lives. I was rather offended I didn’t get a wedding invitation! Thanks for thinking of me! That is worse than getting pulled over for a $100 burrito. The wedding must of have been fun. I wish I could have been in the sealing room. That must have been such an amazing, beautiful moment. Anyway, it’s astounding to look at how much life we have to live - marriage, family, children, college, occupation, home, enduring to the end, but at the same time how minuscule is our time here on Earth.

I also saw some pictures from the wedding, and I would like to personally inform Alex (Provo friend) that he has a rather most excellent mustache. Keep up the good work. Also, congratulations to Jared (friend/former roommate -- for catching the groom’s bouquet)! It is now destiny for you to find your eternal companion who will be able to accept the fact that you play DK. I am sure there is someone out there! And, Jonno Andrews (friend/ former roommate) – I heard he is engaged! There you go my Jonny boy! You make it happen!

As I look at the past weeks and then at the weeks to come, it is definitely fair to say that the Lord has prepared a numerous amount of souls, in the Revere, Massachusetts area, to receive the restored gospel. I can’t describe how much joy it brings me to see the light of Jesus Christ glow from them when they connect with the truthfulness of the gospel. Earlier, when I was thinking about the commitment Jordan and Katie just made, it made me again realize how much more enjoyable life is when we view the decisions we make based on the spiritual consequences, and not the physical consequences. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a church where we follow the commandments of Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ and not the desires of man. We are a church governed by our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ. When we look at a commandment our Savior has given us, and believe it may not bring us true happiness, we need to understand these commandments are for our physical/mortal benefit, but more importantly our spiritual benefit. Again, there is much more to come after this life, but it won’t always seem that way in moments of struggle or doubt – but when we see our divine potential, our hope and faith will revive again and give us strength to endure to the end.

I know God’s spiritual and physical blessings give hope to many in this world, according to our obedience and our faith in Jesus Christ.

I love you MAMA! You make me happier than a fruit fly in the produce aisle. Hey, can’t wait to give you a hug! Tell grandma I love her and she is feisty.

I know that God lives. I know he lives. God Lives.

Elder Tait.
